Bee

Installing Bee

Android

The Bee application is downloaded to each phone using the Google Play Store.

As each Android phone differs in the way it operates, these instructions require that the user is familiar with the operation of their Android phone and that they are able to install applications onto the phone.

Note: This requires that each phone having Bee installed on it has a unique Google Mail account assigned to it. This is a Google requirement.

You will need: An Android phone, the unique Google Mail account details for that phone.

Locate and install ‘Bee‘, by Webroster Ltd, using the search facility. It is recommended that you tick the option to ‘Allow automatic updating‘ so that you get any updates downloaded automatically. If this is not ticked the user has to manually update Bee when notified.

Create a shortcut icon for Bee on your phone. Each phone is different, so please refer to your phone’s user manual on how to do this.

To download and buy apps from the App Store, you need an Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the account that you use to access Apple services. If you’ve used other Apple services like iCloud, sign in to the App Store with the same Apple ID. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one.

Follow these steps to install Bee on your iPhone.

Tap App Store on your iPhone.

Search for Webroster and find the Bee app.

Tap the app.

Tap Get on the right side of the screen, then tap Install.

If prompted, enter your password.

The app downloads to your device

Initial Login and Setup

Run the Bee application, and you will be prompted to enter the initial configuration.

Setting Up

When attempting to log in for the first time you will be asked to enter your Webroster Server URL as well as your Staff login details. This box will appear below the Member ID box and above the Sign In button.

Using the PIN function to log into Bee

You can enable a function in Webroster.net which provides the user with the facility to enter a four-digit PIN to log in to the Bee app. The first log in requires using the username, password and member ID information. After this the PIN can be used.

There is an option in Webroster to enable the use of user PINs to log in to Bee.

Note: If the user enters the wrong PIN three times they will then have to enter the full username, password and member ID combination again.

The user can log in using the full log in details if they want by selecting the ‘Go to the full sign-in page’ option. For example, if the phone is being used by a different user, or the user cannot remember their PIN.

Note Using the full sign-in page will wipe their app PIN.

They will be asked to confirm this action.

When logging in you may be asked to provide a four-digit PIN for subsequent log ins, if this has been enabled in your Webroster.net settings.

From anywhere in Bee, you will be shown an icon &lt;img data-attachment-id=”7845″ data-permalink=”https://elearning.mywebroster.com/?attachment_id=7845″ data-orig-file=”https://i1.wp.com/elearning.mywebroster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/word-image-85.png?fit=56%2C44&amp;amp;ssl=1″ data-orig-size=”56,44″ data-comments-opened=”0″ data-image-meta=”{&amp;quot;aperture&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;credit&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;camera&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;caption&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;created_timestamp&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;copyright&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;focal_length&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;iso&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;shutter_speed&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;orientation&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;}” data-image-title=”word-image” data-image-description=”” data-medium-file=”https://i1.wp.com/elearning.mywebroster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/word-image-85.png?fit=56%2C44&amp;amp;ssl=1″ data-large-file=”https://i1.wp.com/elearning.mywebroster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/word-image-85.png?fit=56%2C44&amp;amp;ssl=1″ class=”wp-image-7845″ src=”https://i1.wp.com/elearning.mywebroster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/word-image-85.png?w=895&amp;#038;ssl=1″ data-recalc-dims=”1″ /&gt;in top left hand of screen tapping this icon will reveal Bee’s menu of options.

Checking in and out

You can only check in and out of monitored visits that are within 24 hours of the current time and date.

Please note if you check in or out when in offline/ no internet access as message appears: see below

If your scan mode is set to barcode you will see the barcode scanner when you select In or Out. The barcode for each Client is generated using the standard barcodes report. It is recommended that the pdf version of the report is used in order to provide the clearest barcode.

If your scan mode is set to telephone number you will need to enter the client’s telephone number when you select In or Out. This number is held in the Client Details in Webroster.net.

Select Submit to complete the operation.

Note: NFC and Barcode Check IN/OUT items will be treated as fully automated transactions, Client ID and Telephone No. items will be treated as manual overridden – and will be reflected as such by the coloured spot on the Timesheet within Webroster.net
